Jay Kizhakkedathu Lab

🩸 @UBCmedicine & @CBR_UBC researchers developed a groundbreaking coating to make #MedicalDevices safer for millions of patients. Dr. Jayachandran Kizhakkedathu's lab (@JayKizLab) created this new material to mimic the natural behaviour of blood vessels: bit.ly/3ABPs5K

Dr. Haifeng Ji presenting the results of our paper hot off the press at the @CBR_UBC Earl W. Davie symposium.

We are also excited to share that this work has been published today in @NaturePortfolio @NatureMaterials! Read more on our contact activation inhibiting antithrombotic coatings published in Nature Materials here: nature.com/articles/s4156…

The work of our postdoc, Dr Haifeng Ji has been featured in a news article by @UBCmedicine! Read about our novel antithrombotic coatings that could dramatically reduce the need for risky blood thinners here: news.ubc.ca/2024/11/blood-…

Our collaboration with @JayKizLab is now out in Advanced Functional Materials! Here, we develop a new polymer that protects both proteins and RNA/LNP from freezing, heat and lyophiliztion: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

A total of 157 new programs and projects led by @UBC researchers were awarded more than $36 million through the 2024 @NSERC_CRSNG Discovery Research Program competition. 🤩 Congratulations to all awardees including Dr. @JayKizLab! See the complete list: bit.ly/4eIZb9x

Lab meetings are always better with cake - wishing a happy birthday to team members Kai, Iren, and Jay!

Thrilled to have our collaborative research with @JHMorrissey on smart thrombosis inhibitors featured in @NLM_NIH!

.@JayKizLab @travisxu1997 and the Zhao group at Sichuan University develop a heparin-mimetic polymer-modified sponge for whole blood auto-transfusion and decode underlying mechanisms #BiotechNatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…

🩸We are excited to share a novel thrombosis inhibitor without the risk of bleeding in @NatureComms 👩‍🔬Lab alum Dr. @lapetitechanel used a charge tunable design to target polyphosphate 📰 (paper) tinyurl.com/mtbvxp98 or (news release) tinyurl.com/2p87x9kx

👏 Congratulations to Drs. Ali Bashashati (@ABashashati) and Jay Kizhakkedathu (@JayKizLab), who received $3 million in @NSERC_CRSNG funding for two new training initiatives! bit.ly/3LcuXPx

With a CBR Travel Award, PhD student Daniel Luo of the @JayKizLab traveled to Buenos Aires, for the @ttsorg Congress of The Transplant Society. More on Daniel experience: tinyurl.com/CBR-TRAVELAWAR…

Congratulations to all recipients of CIHR Fall 2022 Project Grant funding including six LSI labs bit.ly/3YpZn4r

LSI Paper of the Day☀️ HyClear, a new tissue clearing protocol developed by Dr. Karen Cheung and @JayKizLab, enables one-step tissue clearing of #spheroids and #organoids and can be used with high-throughput screening. @SirenErika @CBR_UBC @SBME_UBC @ECEUBC @ubcpathology

Life sciences research is the strongest contributor to #UBC's first-place ranking among all Canadian institutions in @NatureIndex 2022 - driven by a 61.3% share in patents linked to high-profile publications. @ubcnews bit.ly/3IOHZlr

“If our research can help prolong [donated organs], while remaining respectful and responsible... to the donor and their loved ones – that’s incredibly important.” @JayKizLab scientists receive 2 awards from @AngelsLegacyPro for organ transplant research: ow.ly/g2Lv50LYIlw

#UBC researchers have developed a process that could make #blood types obsolete. @JayKizLab @CBR_UBC @UBCChem @ubcmsl @PRahfeld @withlabb #BloodResearch #HealthResearch #transplant #BloodTransfusion bit.ly/universal-blood

Congratulations to Drs. Jessica Rosin, Jayachandran Kizhakkedathu and Sheila Teves on being announced as new Canada Research Chairs! Watch for a Q&A on their respective research agendas on the LSI website. @JayKizLab @RosinLab @sheilateves @TIPS_SPIIE
